catalogs

[flea]

The print catalogs are flooding in at an even greater than usual rate (yes, they found us after we'd moved). They vary so much in their projection of the ideal vision of like, that I found myself pondering:

1. What catalog that you receive shows the life that most resembles your ideal?
2. What catalog that you receive shows the life that most resembles your actual life?
3. What catalog that you receive do you actually order the most from?

My answers:
1. Garnet Hill, or White Flower Farm.
2. Lands End, I think. LL Bean is a bit more my style, but we're not actually that outdoorsy.
3. Probably Lands End, but Hanna Andersson is probably a close second. If their shipping were cheaper or they had free shipping coupons (which I can almost always find for Lands End online) I'd probably order more - their sales are good.

I actually don't get many catalogs, but got my ALL TIME FAVORITE yesterday! Mrs. John L. Strong stationers. If I were rich, I would buy everyone $100 notebooks and $60/10 note cards and all of that kind of thing. I still have the one I got last year, and have looked at it recently.

I mean, seriously.
